You know, Gao Zhixing is not only a general of the imperial court, he is also a close ally of Li Chengqian.
His arrival proves that Li Chengqian is also nearby.
Therefore, Lieutenant Qi subconsciously turned his head and looked around.
Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Li Chengqian standing not far from him, waving to him with a smile.
There was a moment.
Captain Qi wanted to die.
Why are you so unlucky?
Did you run into them as soon as you went out?
At this time, Li Chengqian slowly walked towards this side.
He patted Captain Qi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not here for you."
Lieutenant Qi grinned dryly and said: "Your Majesty..."
The word "Your Highness" has not been uttered yet.
Li Chengqian made a silent gesture to him and said: "When you are away from home, just call me Young Master."
"Yes, yes, sir."
Lieutenant Qi hurriedly said: "Sir, I have finished handling the official business and have nothing to do. Come here to play, no..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian shook his head.
He said: "I know very well what's going on with you, so you don't have to explain anything to me."
It’s over…
This was the only thought in Captain Qi's mind.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, gambling has been strictly prohibited in all dynasties.
Regardless of whether you are a common person or an official, as long as you participate in gambling, you will be punished extremely severely.
When Captain Qi met Li Chengqian today, it was as if he had taken off half of his official robe.
And just when Qi Duwei was heartbroken.
Li Chengqian spoke again.
He said: "But, I also know that you haven't done anything bad."
"Similarly, you have never helped that man named Sun oppress the people."
"And I'm not an unkind person. I'm willing to give you a chance to change your ways."
"Of course……"
Li Chengqian looked at Captain Qi and said, "Whether you can seize this opportunity or not is your own business." >
After hearing this, what else could Captain Qi say?
This clearly shows that Li Chengqian gave him a chance.
"Of course."
"I will do whatever the young master asks me to do."
Captain Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of fire. As long as the master just says a word, Qi is bound to do it."
"okay."
"I don't need you to walk me through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
"I just need you to help me find out how many famous people in Changzhou there are here."
After speaking, Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder.
Lieutenant Qi Du was also very knowledgeable. He quickly got up and led Li Chengqian to search everywhere.
As he walked, he asked Li Chengqian to identify who these people were.
To be honest, at first, Li Chengqian only thought that the people who came to this place were all dignitaries and nobles from Changzhou.
But after walking around, he realized that his situation was too small.
There are more people here than just Changzhou.
Listing them from top to bottom, Li Chengqian was a little surprised.
Among these people, there are those who work as clerks under the inspection history, and some who work as captains and captains in Zhechong Prefecture.
There are even several officials from the Ministry of Works dispatched by the imperial court to supervise various projects.
Li Chengqian's eyes were cold and he said straightly: "This Sun Wucheng has made the business so big that even the officials of the imperial court can be won over by him."
Hearing this, Lieutenant Qi timidly said: "Actually, it's more than that."
"Um?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
"Uh, this..."
Captain Qi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Actually, the Sun family in Changzhou is just the tip of the iceberg."
"In Jiangnan Province, there have always been three giants."
"Sun, Wu, Liu, this
These three companies account for almost half of the industries in Gangnam Province.”
"You can almost see their presence in everything from imperial projects to various industries related to people's livelihood."
Qi Duwei said: "Even the hotel where you are staying was repaired by people sent by the Sun family a few years ago."
"I didn't expect that there is still such a group of people in Jiangnan."
Li Chengqian raised the corners of his lips and said, "Interesting, really interesting."
That's when they were talking.
A middle-aged man came over with a group of men.
The middle-aged man glanced at Li Chengqian, then smiled and said: "Young Master looks unfamiliar, it must be your first time here." ??
"yes."
Li Chengqian also smiled and said: "I've heard of this place before, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today."
"oh."
The middle-aged man said oh, and then said: "Now that you are here, why don't you sit down and play a few games?"
"Isn't it true that I haven't found anything fun?"
Li Chengqian glanced at Captain Qi next to him and said, "And when I met Brother Qi by chance, I couldn't help but chat for a few words. He also introduced me to the gameplay here."
"That's it."
The middle-aged man glanced at Captain Qi, and then said: "We have many things to do here. If you don't mind, I will take you to a good place."
"Okay."
Li Chengqian did not refuse.
He said directly: "But I am a person who likes to play exciting things. Is the place you mentioned as fun as this?"
"certainly."
"I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said to Captain Qi: "If you don't give up, brother Qi should also come with us."
"OK."
Lieutenant Qi smiled dryly and said: "I have long heard that there is a place here that is not open to the public. I guess where is Sir planning to take us?"
"You will know when you arrive."
The middle-aged man chuckled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. > This cold light came and went quickly, but it did not escape Li Chengqian's eyes.
He narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and then silently made a gesture to Gao Zhi.
But his face still should not have a dull expression, and he said directly: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go over and take a look."
Having said that, he did his part and followed the middle-aged man towards the outside first.
When they reached the innermost part, they suddenly saw a small arch there.
Following the arch, there is a staircase leading directly to the upper level.
Walking up the stairs, a light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
When they walked out of the door, they looked up and realized that they had actually walked out of the casino and arrived in the courtyard.
But at this moment, a cold light flashed, and two long knives were placed on the necks of Li Chengqian and Qi Duwei.
Captain Qi had a puzzled look on his face and said: "Sir, what do you mean?"
By this time, the middle-aged man's face had also changed.
He ignored Captain Qi at all and smiled straight at Li Chengqian and said, "You are well, Your Highness."
"Hi."
"Even if you know my identity, you don't need to use a knife or a gun."
Li Chengqian raised the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't see the knife on his neck.
He said: "Okay, tell your master to stop hiding and come out to meet me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of hearty laughter.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Wucheng walked out of the shadows and came to Li Chengqian.
He said: "His Royal Highness is indeed very courageous. Under such circumstances, he was able to remain calm in the face of danger."
"When we arrive at your territory, and your men have knives on our necks, what's the use of chaos?"
Li Chengqian laughed and said: "Besides, you won't kill me, and you don't dare to kill me either."
"oh?"
"Yeah?"
Sun Wucheng looked around and then said: "Do you think, if I kill you here, who will know..."
